I prefer to use my scales at home though... they say I've lost half a stone (8lbs) instead of the 4.5lbs the 'official' scale says!

Much more encouraging.

I forgot to say that the intake of certain foods is limited - 2 slices of wholemeal bread so you can still have your sandwich or toast, spoonfuls of nuts and seeds to munch on... small amounts of cheese and milk - doubled if you use low fat/skimmed varieties... it all adds up to being able to make tasty meals and not feel the guilt of having to weight or count every bit of it.
